Goodbye U.A.E.

On 29th Aug 2007, it was my first day landed in U.A.E. for work. Today, 29th Aug 2009 is my last day working in U.A.E. Time flies, I've been working in this desert land for exactly 2 years!

I wasn't willing to work in this place, it was my working company arrangement and I have no choice. Anyway, I learn a lot in this 2 years and facing lots of difficulties too.

My first project involved was in Dubai, it was the largest project I ever involved in my life, but too bad we were being kicked out by unlawful termination from the client and consultants. Hopefully my working company will win the case.

Sad Stories...

Dubai Colleagues

After Dubai, I've been transfered to Abu Dhabi for the Formula One race track project. That's the project I dream to involve, but too bad the position was not I wanted. Then I requested to change my position from QA/QC back to Technical, too bad the position not vacant anymore and management decided to transfer me to regional office to do on technical matter.

So, that's my working life in U.A.E. so many changes happened on me. Shifting accommodation 11 times, shifting working desk 9 times, changing working place 3 times, and changes on my transfer back to Malaysia 5 times. I believe I'm the only one facing it, just in 2 years time so many changes happened to me.

Although I don't like to live in Middle East, but there are something that worth for me to remember and cherish it. My colleagues, housemates, and friends in U.A.E. I'll gonna miss them all, but look at the bright side, we are still working with same company, we'll meet again very soon in future for other projects.

My Car & The Villa I Stay

I used this car since I return from my recent holiday. My previous car was taken by other for use in construction site, so management decided to let me use this car. I'll never afford to buy this car, but at least I can enjoy it for a short term, and it is poison enough, I can't imagine how is the feel when drive back my Proton Saga Aeroback?

Till now, still no any latest changes news on me, I will be posted at HQ in Shah Alam. Once I reach KL, I have to fly back to Penang to get my car over to KL and start work on 1st Sep 2009. I still have to settle my accommodation in KL, what a restless trip this time.

Welcome home, my friend! Who knows one day, you drive even a better car to pick me up for lunch leh................ Look at the brighter side mah. btw hor, Proton Saga aeroback also want $$$ to buy one leh, still not everyone can afford. All the best
